Despite an excellent opening quarter, the Patriots managed to lose control of the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

They're definitely getting healthier which is good, but just like with San Francisco being hurt in Week 4, Houston is still a WAGON.

If for nothing else, I'm glad we know there's a way to catch a ball with two feet in and still have the catch ruled incomplete.

This season is starting to slip away from them fast, and with the injuries really taking their toll, it may get worse before it gets better.

Needless to say, I feel that this San Fran team isn't in the greatest of moods and has every reason to put on a statement performance.

This is now three straight games in which Brissett has been pressured at least 13 times and sacked more than he was in Weeks 1-2 combined.

Can New England do right by legions of Jets fans and that fraud Fireman Ed and remind them who they cheer for?

Sunday's contest with Seattle marked a very winnable game for the Patriots, who once again dominated the line of scrimmage in the run game..

While this is a fun time to reflect on Super Bowl 49 with Malcolm Butler in town, Seattle is as much in a new era as the Patriots are.

The numbers don't lie, and they spelled disaster for the Bengals in Week 1.

I don't think football fans realize how good this defense is/can be, even without Matt Judon or Christian Barmore.

So my No. 1 question for Jerod Mayo would be this: What does "Patriot Football" mean in 2024?

Just on a hurry-up drive in 11 on 11s, Maye ended up getting sacked three times in four plays behind the No. 2 offensive line...

While the frustration around wanting to see Maye play is more than understandable, remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint with him.

8 of the 13 players who accounted for at least 30 percent of the Patriots special teams snaps a year ago are now gone.

The talk about them trading back/drafting anybody else was just smokescreens, as Coach Mayo said they had their eyes on Maye the whole time.

Even with some notable flaws in his game, it's hard to miss the upside with a guy like Odunze, especially when his hands are as good...

Although that's a high-profile outing that will get used against him, Rosengarten has a respectable 25 starts to his resume.
